A GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Psalms 100:1-2 (ESV)


Towering pines line a winding road
To a welcoming rock for the young and old
A serene sanctuary beside living waters Providing needed respite from earthly matters


As rays of sunlight filter through the leaves Songs of praise rise up through the trees God’s amazing creation at its very best
A glorious place apart He’s so richly blessed


Calls on us to seek only after His righteousness. For solely in His Word we find peace and rest That nurtures those unworthy He has chosen
To grow in grace through this glimpse of heaven

I have been writing poetry since I was a teenager, but it wasn’t until a few of years ago that my writing became more spiritual and at the same time more prolific. As I shared my poetry with my wife, Hannah, and a few good friends, they encouraged me to place the poems in book form. My first book endeavor was “Because Of Him”, published in 2017. After hearing Sammy Murimi, the director of Share International Inc., speak at our church, I decided that the proceeds from that book would be donated to Share. In 2018, Hannah and I were privileged to go to Turkanaland in Kenya on a mission trip with Share. It was a life-changing experience for us both. Some of the inspiration from that trip is expressed in my second book, “His Cup Pours Out”. I include scripture verses with my poems because most of the poems I have written were inspired by reading God’s Word. I hope that as you visit this blog, you will meditate on the scripture verses and write down your prayers and thoughts for the week. My goal for this project has always been that God would be glorified! Robert M Hinnen
